# Naval Specific Knowledge

## Purpose

Identify hard-to-train strengths, obsessions, taste, and authentic edges.

## Read First

- `references/concept.md`

Read only the files needed for the current request.
All runtime references are local to this skill so the folder can be copied independently.

## Workflow

1. Collect evidence from recurring curiosities, praised outputs, unusual combinations, and fast learning.
2. Separate durable patterns from credentials, trends, and one-off success.
3. Name two or three candidate knowledge stacks with a real audience or problem.
4. Design a small public artifact that tests one candidate through accountability.

## Output

Return these checkable fields:

- Evidence inventory
- Candidate knowledge stacks
- Authenticity test
- Public artifact experiment

## Boundaries

Use n-authenticity-positioning after the underlying capability is known; use n-work-as-play to optimize daily activity fit.

Paraphrase by default and do not reproduce long passages from the book.
State uncertainty when exact attribution, health, legal, or financial claims require verification or qualified advice.

## Example

User: "Help me identify my specific knowledge."

Assistant: Use the workflow above and return evidence inventory, candidate knowledge stacks, authenticity test.
